This article presents the case of a non-HIV-positive patient who contemporaneously suffered from Kaposi’s sarcoma and bullous pemphigoid. Kaposi’s sarcoma is a rare low-grade vascular tumour associated with human herpes virus 8 infection, while bullous pemphigoid is the most common autoimmune subepidermal blistering disease in western countries.

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune disease that requires immunosuppressive therapy. Systemic corticosteroids are considered the standard treatment for moderate-to-severe BP. Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) is a rare multifocal endothelial tumour that affects the skin, mucosa and viscera. As an angioproliferative disease of obscure aetiopathogenesis and histogenesis, KS is associated with human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8). This current case report describes a rare occurrence of extensive cutaneous KS in a 60-year-old Chinese male patient after oral methylprednisolone treatment for BP with an emphasis on its pathological characterization. A total of more than 40 nodules were found on his trunk and lower limbs covering more than 20% of his body surface area. Immunohistochemical staining of biopsy samples from the lesion showed the patient was positive for HHV-8, CD31, CD34, XIIIa, ERG and Ki-67. The Epstein–Barr virus test showed the patient tested negative for immunoglobulin (Ig)A and IgM, but was positive for IgG. Immunosuppression associated with the treatment for BP may activate a latent HHV-8 infection and induce the development of KS.
